CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 277 



Ildiern or Hyldren may be a corruption of Selyf Tiern, or 

 Solomon the King. Siltiern soon became Iltiern.* See under 

 Selyf. 



S. Idne, Bishop, Confessor. 



A chapel at Sennen bears this name. Idne is a corruption 

 of Euny. 



S. Ildiern, see Selyf and Hyldren. 



S. Illid, Bishop, Confessor. 



According to William of Worcester, Illid, Hid, or Elidius, a 

 Bishop, reposed in the island of Scilly. Elsewhere he calls the 

 island "Insula Seynt Lyde (fuit filius regis)." Leland says: 

 " Saynt Lide's Isle, wher in tymes past at her Sepulchre was 

 grete superstition " [Itin. iii, 9). Either her is a misprint for his, 

 or else Leland confounded Lyde of Scilly with Lidgy of Egloscruck 

 or S. Issey. 



William of Worcester says that his day in the Tavistock 

 Calendar was August 8. As the Abbey of Tavistock had a cell in 

 Scilly, its calendar is likely to be correct in describing him as a 

 Bishop. 



August 8 is the day of S. Illog of Hirnant, in the Welsh 

 Calendars, and this goes far to establish the identity. At Hirnant 

 in Montgomeryshire, is his Holy Well and a tumulus called 

 Carnedd Illog. 



A Manumission of 1372, by John Blanchminster, was made 

 out to Agnes de Landhillok, i.e. Llan Illog (Goulding : Blanch- 

 minster Charity Records, 1898). This was a Cornish woman 

 taking her name from, apparently, Illogan. 



I suspect that Illid is the same as Illogan, which see. 



S. Illogan, Priest, Confessor. 



The Church of Illogan, near Redruth, is dedicated to a saint 

 of this name. 



* There is a Capel Llaniltern in Glamorganshire.
